Download the PDF file. ITs funny as hell and its worth reading :smt023 /

Post your thoughts.

 

Note: Added the 'OT' to the thread, due to its decidedly offtopic nature. :smt023

This was freaking hilarious, and makes me think that I may have came really really close to being scammed on a laptop I sold last year. The buyer had zero feedback, and after the auction contacted me and said that he wanted to do it through an escrow service, or he couldn't buy it. Needless to say, I left negative feedback for his inability to complete the transaction (I'm sorry, but if you want to do something like that you ask the seller beforehand) and apparently my suspicion wasn't unfounded, as the seller apparently registered with eBay to bid on my item, and then never used the account again. It still sits in eBay limbo, with it's glaring -1 feedback.

I really hope he gets some reaction from the scam buyer. :smt040

 

just read all of the PDF file. I couldn't stop laughing it was that hilarious. Now I'm waiting just to see what the guy's reply is going to be :smt043

Oh this is so fucking great, i hope they get a reply from the scammer all pissed off.

I lauged so hard i almost fell out of my chair :smt040 :smt043

 

I love how the dude went and changed the screensavers to say p-p-p-powerbook, the scammer would be wise to move.

 

A fucking internet classic -- much better than Mahir the Turk. Very, very good. I love it... especially the James Bond volunteer - my favorite part.

 

Can you manage a post without saying the F word?

 

HAHAHA

BRILLIANT! :smt043

 

In there somewhere is where you can read how it all went down when the package was delivered.

 

They cant leave this open like that! I need closure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

Guess the buyer emailed a Trojan to him today....... :smt024

 

I'll do my best.

 

Why not just post under your own account then? Yeah, I know some people apparently get logged out every now and then, but that gets old - check before you post or at least edit your post afterwards when you find out.

Classic. I can just imagine the guys face as he opened the package.

 

How am I supposed to edit the post (posted by Guest) after I figure out I'm actually not logged in?

I think the mods should really do the smart thing, and not allow guests to post -- no other board on the internet does. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

Sorry im not sure if it was you that posted like 2 or 3 posts using the F word in every sentence...

 

guest posts

I've said it before and I'll say it again...removing guest posts would mean that some of us would refrain from posting.

Anonymity is good on sites like this if you want to enable the free flow of information.

Well, you can login again, right? And as much as I'd love to get rid of Guest posting, only assembler can do that and I respect his opinion on the matter.

 

Re: guest posts

Got to agree with hl718.

I agree that guest posting should remain on, but i would like to urge people to look if they are signed in before making a post becaue all the "guest" postings are getting really annoying :Hangman:
